Hi ladies
Has anyone tried acupuncture for fertility? Just wondering whether to give it a try. I had a late first trimester mc in August and dont think I have started ovulating yet - had high opk but no peaks 😔 Im not too worried because think its stress related and wondered if acupuncture may help? X

@msg92 oh I'm so sorry. Perhaps once that is over call the gp. Have my fingers crossed for you.

Yes I do have an appt with my gp to discuss these results and have my gynae calling me on 1st December, hoping she has some answers and some advice.

@Jadem83 thank you for sharing your exper! Mine sounds like the same procedure, but the hospital are giving me a general anaesthetic which I think I’m more scared about that anything else! I’m hoping it won’t be too long, as I have had an anembryonic pregnancy this time, so it’s a small sac (didn’t progress after 6weeks) and then just the lining. Trying to keep busy today so I don’t worry too much!

@Bellabubble

I had the same in April. 💜

@Bellabubble mine was also done under general anaesthetic . I was chatting to the nurse one minute about it feeling like you’ve had a glass of wine too many as you go under and the next I was awake and it was all over .Mine was At the height of pandemic so they were all kitted out in full ppe but honestly they couldn’t have been kinder And made it as positive an experience as possible . Nurse Could see that I was visably upset ( petrified of the general ) so held my hand and both the doctor and nurse introduced them self and talked me through it all before getting kitted out. Your in the best And safest hands possible and I’m sure they will do all they can to comfort and reassure you 💕

Hello everyone I’ve been coming and going from this board since my mc in March.
Just to update I’ve got my BFP today!
I’d been feeling really nauseous the last few days and I kind of ‘knew’ I was pregnant. So I tested today. Cried my eyes out 😭. I’m only 14dpo so still early days but I’m taking the nausea as a good sign! My due date is my birthday 😍
Thank you to everyone on this board as I’ve been dropping in back and forth for the best part of this year. It has been a comfort to know there’s a safe place to talk when I’ve felt I’ve needed it. I will never forget the support in my darkest hour.
To the spotters- I had been spotting up to a week before AF and this is my first cycle taking 100mg b6 plus a b vitamin complex. No spotting and I got my BFP! So may be worth a try if you have had difficulty with this!
Baby dust to you all! Xxxxxxx

@Mommybear05 Ah that's sooo wonderful, I love your Christmassy bfp pic! Reading your post has made me tear up. Very happy for you and so encouraging for those of us waiting for a bfp too! Xx

@Mommybear05 this is the most wonderful news. A Christmas BFP and due date on your birthday. This couldn’t be more perfect. Wishing you all the best!! (Loving the photo!)

Happy Sunday everyone. Hoping there’s lots of Christmassy BFP this month! (BIG FESTIVE POSITIVES)

Where’s everyone at in their cycle?

I’m at the boring CD7 mark. Wont ovulate until cd19 so keeping myself busy with festive planning for my 18 month old son. Decided this month to get all my bloods done so will have all results before Xmas. Already had the scan and my CD 2-4 bloods. Also made my DH get his Crown Jewels checked. Am at the latter stages of my 30s so just want to check that everything is still in working order. 😊

Have a great start to the week everyone.

@Mommybear05 congratulations. Lovely pic x

Thank you everyone! Xxx ❤️❤️❤️

@Jadem83 I’m sorry - I got mixed up and thought that because it was during covid they would only do it under local! I’m so oleased the nurse and Dr were lovely..I’m definitely going to honest about being scared of the general! I almost wanted the MVA option under local but my hospital didn’t offer it!

@Bellabubble don’t be sorry I thought there may have been a bit of confusion due to the time of year 😊 they wouldn’t Offer me the local Either despite the anethatist originally trying to push for it . Il be thinking of you tomorrow ❤️

@Mommybear05 huge congratulations 🥰thank you for sharing your lovely pic with us and keeping us all hopeful 💕🌈 best wishes for a happy healthy 9 months ☺️

Big congratulations @Mommybear05 ❤️

Hope tomorrow goes well @Bellabubble xx

Amazing, congratulations @Mommybear05 Please may you explain a little more re the spotting? Xx

Massive congratulations @Mommybear05!! I remember you from the threads earlier in the year. So happy for you that you’ve got your BFP ❤️. I’m still waiting for mine but I believe it will happen one day! X

@Wishingfornumber2 🤞🤞🤞🤞 we must keep hope. Baby dust to you. Xxx
@HappyVibes hi since my mc I would spot before each period, up to a week before. Always tested negative and it wasn’t implantation. Luteal phase on the short side too. But I read about taking b vitamins. I took them this cycle. No spotting and I got my bfp. Read many similar stories too. I had previously tried vitex but it didn’t work for me x

Morning @Mommybear05. Which brand of vitamins did you take and what dose? My LT phase is also on the short side. Xx

@RichmondLady1981 these are the vitamins I have been taking. They are from Holland and barrett. I’ve been taking the full dose of each one. I hear they’re water soluble so anything your body doesn’t need will come out in your waters. How long is your lp?? X

Well ladies, af is officially overdue. I'm allowing myself a tiny bit of hope, but not brave enough to test yet as I know my cycle has varied by 1-2 days since mc.

13dpo and sitting tight. Xx

Hey ladies! Could i please have some advice.How soon after a misscarraige can you have sex? The epu said as long as i hae a negative test its okay to start trying again. I had a mc at 5 weeks,they said my hcg levels were only 27! So ive done a test an its obvs negative. We dtd yesterday so it had been a week since the bleeding started. Obvs all bleeding has stopped but ive have a few stabbing pains in my lower left side and now im worried its caused an infection? Am i just being paranoid?!? The pains stopped now was only there for about 1 minute! My anxiety is so bad at the moment, please someone help me xx

@SunnySide1992
Hi, sorry to hear about your loss.
I was advised as soon as the bleeding stopped and I felt ready.
Its worth keeping an eye on any pains. It could be that your bodies still recovering or dtd itself hurt because of many reasons.. position, lack of cm. If you did get an infection, its easily treatable. I myself had two uti after my natural missed miscarriage and I was out that cycle but I fell pregnant in the cycle after.
Listen to your body and go with what feels right x

@Mommybear05 congratulations on your bfp, love your photo x

@momof4xx thankyou for responding! The pain has stopped now and all seems usual down below! Im actually seeing cm which is good i guess?!? Im just not sure when i will ovulate. My cycles before my mc were 33 days, wonder if it will stay that way or be shorter? Who knows!
